«Behave ourselves, oppress the fire within, stop crying, don’t act so crazy, be quiet, ignore your urges, don’t display so much public affection, don’t be too wild» – freedom lies in doing the opposite
Caroline Mackintosh shooting for Lampoon Issue 24: virtue lies in the opposite
Coming back to an honest existence, being inquisitive of another, finding the feeling of freedom and ultimately connecting back to nature. Behave ourselves, oppress the fire within, stop crying, don’t act so crazy, be quiet, ignore your urges, don’t display so much public affection, don’t be too wild… I wanted to create a story that rather chose to do the opposite.
